GOD sets up rulers

It's early, and the unofficial presidential results are in - Donald J. Trump has been elected the 45th President of the United States of America. This excites some, pains others. This is exactly what some wanted, is the fear of others. Truth be known, if it had been the other way, if Hilary Clinton had won, it would have had the same effect.

One of the greatest privileges/blessings we enjoy in this great country is being able to vote, and vote freely. We are granted the opportunity, the privilege, the blessing of peacefully electing the most powerful leader in the free world, perhaps the entire world. And, when the candidate we are pulling for doesn't win, we feel as if the end is near. IT"S NOT.

Today's word is Daniel 2:21, NLT, which reads, "He (GOD) controls the course of world events; He removes kings and sets up other kings, He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars."

No, I'm not saying that Donald Trump is a king. What I am saying is that GOD sets up the rulers and takes down rulers. Now, He works through His people to accomplish these things; He gives us free will to decide our own fates. We are to pray and dutifully seek GOD'S will in everything and, then, go out and vote our conscience.

GOD has everything under control whether you voted for President-elect Trump or Hilary Clinton. Whatever happens under whoever's term, rely on GOD. GOD sets up rulers. Congratulations Mr. Trump.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
